When it’s time to close your business, doing it the right way matters—both for compliance and your peace of mind. At Keeyaa, we guide you through every step of company dissolution—whether through deregistration, liquidation, or winding up—handling filings, liabilities, and final formalities efficiently and reliably.
Closing a company in Malaysia involves more than just stopping operations—it requires strict adherence to legal protocols. Done incorrectly, you may face legal, financial, and reputational consequences, including:
Penalties from SSM for non-compliance or unpaid fees
Continued liability for directors and shareholders if not properly dissolved
Unnecessary costs from keeping an inactive company open
At Keeyaa, we ensure the exit process is clean, compliant, and cost-effective so you can focus on what comes next.
Your Exit Options Simplified
Different circumstances require different solutions. We help you choose the right path:
Striking Off (Deregistration)
Ideal for dormant companies with no assets or liabilities. A quicker and simpler process handled via SSM, typically resolved within 6–15 months
Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL)
Best for solvent companies able to settle debts. Requires a Declaration of Solvency and appointment of a licensed liquidator to manage asset distribution and final filings
Our Closure Process: Clear, Compliant, Complete
Initial Assessment
Evaluate your company’s status and recommend the best route.
Stakeholder Resolution
Draft and obtain board/shareholder approval.
Filing and Notice
Prepare all submissions, publish required notices and agreements with SSM, LHDN, EPF, SOCSO, and others
Liquidator Engagement (if needed)
We engage a licensed liquidator to manage assets, liabilities, stakeholder entitlements, and final distribution
Clearances & Dissolution
Secure approvals, close bank accounts carefully, and ensure dissolution is recorded officially
Common Pitfalls & How We Prevent Them
Overlooking employee entitlements
Employee claims (e.g. unpaid salaries, EPF/SOCSO contributions) often take priority and must be settled first
Premature bank account closure
Closing accounts too early can halt legal processes and reimbursements
Incorrect liquidator selection
Appointing an inexperienced or unqualified liquidator can delay the process or raise compliance risks
Keeyaa protects you from these issues with thorough planning and oversight.
